Texas Drifter Blame Obama For WikiLeaks Leaks
Marshall’s Law Dateline – Thief breaks into your home and steals your property; who do you blame, thief or your security guard that did not do their job?
Only two primary players in this writing exercise:
One, President Obama, who is Commander in Chief and the American most responsible for insuring America’s domestic tranquility and national security. What is old adage, buck stops with Obama who is America’s President?
Number two primary player, WikiLeaks (following excerpt from Wikipedia):
WikiLeaks from Wikipedia
This article is related to the following current event: United States diplomatic cables leak. Information may change rapidly as the event progresses.
WikiLeaks - Not to be confused with wiki websites such as Wikipedia.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WikiLeaks is an international non-profit media organization that publishes submissions of otherwise unavailable documents from anonymous sources and leaks. Its website, launched in 2006, is run by The Sunshine Press.[1] Within a year of its launch, the site claimed a database that had grown to more than 1.2 million documents.[3]
(end excerpt)
This is not to suggest that Wikileaks’ people are not responsible or guilty for threatening America’s national security. Two considerations: first did WikiLeaks actions occur within jurisdiction of United States Constitution?
An issue to be considered by those respecting U.S. Supreme Court rulings involving “prior restraint” by government to interfere with freedom of the press; reader’s assignment research Supreme Court rulings concerning “prior restraint” prohibitions against any American local, state, or federal government against violating any Constitutional Amendment.
Second what options exists to insure America’s national security when seemingly rogue individuals not U.S. citizens, who are not on U.S. soil and not within jurisdiction of U.S. Constitution engage in activities which threaten America’s national security?
Returning to primary issue of this writing exercise; placing or assigning responsibility for distribution without authorization hundreds of thousands of “not for public” government documents.
Only two choices: politician in charge of America’s national security who has billions of dollars and seemingly endless resources to do their job, or few publicity seeking who knows what they are with seemingly fewer resources than most American small towns?
Final question example when hometown football team loses championship game, who gets blamed, hometown’s losing coach or visiting team’s winning coach?
This writing exercise is brief, so you the reader can rest up for Texas Drifter’s next writing exercise which may seem too wordy; who gets blame for that, Texas Drifter or you the reader?
